Why are some so concerned about why Colgan is not hiring furloughed 121 pilots? Maybe the furloughed 121 pilots are already aware of the type of working conditions to be expected at Colgan and are not applying. If they are applying, then why are folks giving the experienced CFI's such a bad time? I would submit that if the CFI is _____ (insert derogatory term or phrase of your choice), for wanting to work for Colgan, then the experienced 121 guy who applied is even more so because he has learned little or nothing from his experience.

If you anti-Colgan (Mesa, Go-Jets, etc..) guys really want to help, don't come on an internet board as a faceless goon and tear apart guys looking for honest information. How about sending them a pm, exchanging emails and try getting together for a real conversation. Express your concerns, tell them what you've learned, and remember that the decision to take a job is an individual decision, and your not that individual. If you really want to improve the industry, be someone who's opinion is respected, not feared. You'll receive many more followers.
